NSA Recruitment Drive Goes Horribly Wrong

Posted by Soulskill on from the recruitment-unsuccessful dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The Guardian is running a story about a recent recruitment session held by the NSA and attended by students from the University of Wisconsin which had an unexpected outcome for the recruiters. 'Attending the session was Madiha R Tahir, a journalist studying a language course at the university. She asked the squirming recruiters a few uncomfortable questions about the activities of NSA: which countries the agency considers to be 'adversaries', and if being a good liar is a qualification for getting a job at the NSA.' Following her, others students started to put NSA employees under fire too. A recording of the session is available on Tahir's blog."

    I don't want to be a Target. I'd much rather be a Walmart.

    I'd rather be a K-Mart. Nobody would even know I exist.

    What's her next target for hard-hitting investigative journalism? Interrogating the WalMart cashier about the sleazy business practices of the corporation? How about cornering the burger-flipper at McDonald's over his/her complicity in contributing to the nationwide obesity epidemic?

    That's just what we need: more up-and-coming journalists that pick the low-hanging fruit and pretend that it's a raw, career-making scoop.

    >STFU asshole. We all know you're a big talking asshole.

    When you graduate 3rd grade, you'll learn that there are enough insulting words that you don't have to call someone an asshole twice in one post.

    There's also no spoon

    I've always strongly suspected that the Dish was somehow involved in its disappearance--but cannot, at present, prove it.
